Abstract
In a method for operating an internal combustion engine with a plurality of combustion chambers, wherein a discrepancy between an actual operating performance and a target operating performance of at least one of the combustion chambers is detected, the ignition point is shifted in only the combustion chamber that has the discrepancy in order to influence combustion so as to compensate for the discrepancy.
Description
- This is a Continuation-In-Part Application of pending international patent application PCT/EP2011/004444 filed Sep. 3, 2011 and claiming the priority of
German patent application 10 2010 045 689.6 filed Sep. 16, 2010. - The invention relates to a method for operating a combustion engine with a plurality of cylinders upon detection of a discrepancy between an actual performance and a target performance of a cylinder.
- DE 10 2005 046 955 B3 discloses a method for detecting a misfire in a combustion chamber of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine with several cylinders, wherein a misfire in one of the cylinders is recognized depending on at least one parameter of the combustion engine. Furthermore, a measurement for a fluctuation in the spark plug burning time is detected, which is assigned to the cylinder in which the misfire was recognized. Moreover, further measurements for the fluctuations in burning times of different spark plugs are detected, which are assigned to other cylinders. Furthermore, depending on the measurements, a cause of defect for the misfire is detected, which is due to an ignition system of the combustion engine.
- It is the principal object of the present invention to provide a method for operating an internal combustion engine, so as to ensure smooth engine operation for a high ride comfort and low fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine.
- In a method for operating an internal combustion engine with a plurality of combustion chambers, wherein a discrepancy between an actual operating performance and a target operating performance of at least one of the combustion chambers is detected, the ignition point is shifted in only the combustion chamber that has the discrepancy in order to influence combustion so as to compensate for the discrepancy.
- In other words, only a measure that is specific for the fuel combustion in the ailing combustion chamber is carried out, so as to compensate for the discrepancy detected in the respective combustion chamber(s). In the remaining combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine, no measures, or at least none of these measures, are carried out. In this way, the discrepancy in the combustion chamber can be compensated for individually while the other combustion chambers are still operated optimally with respect to fuel consumption. Since any such discrepancy could have a negative effect on the ride comfort of passengers of a motor vehicle, in particular a personal motor vehicle, the method thus ensures, on one hand, the high ride comfort and, on the other hand, maintains an efficient operation and low fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions of the internal combustion engine.
- If, for example, the combustion engine is operated with excess air, wherein the combustion-air ratio Lambda (λ) is greater than 1, it is particularly likely for the internal combustion engine, particularly when it is a spark ignition engine, to experience a discrepancy between the actual and target operating performance. This discrepancy is, for example, a misfire of a combustion operation taking place in the combustion chamber(s), an undesirably high operating irregularity in the combustion engine, an undesired pressure or pressure distribution in the combustion chamber and/or an undesired spark plug burning time for igniting a mixture in the combustion chamber or the respective combustion chambers. The same applies for a warm-up period of the combustion engine, during which the discrepancy or discrepancies can occur at a relatively high level of probability.
- If the discrepancy only occurs in one or some of the combustion chambers, whereas the remaining combustion chambers show no discrepancy and no such abnormalities, the method according to the invention is able to carry out corresponding measures to compensate for the discrepancy (which generally has a negative effect on fuel consumption) just in the affected but not in all of the combustion chambers.
- Such measures to compensate for the discrepancy are, for example, measures that influence an injection, in particular a direct injection, of an amount of fuel into the combustion chamber that has the discrepancy. To compensate for the discrepancy, the amount of the fuel which is to be injected into the combustion chamber that has the discrepancy can be adjusted. When, for example during operation of the internal combustion engine, a specific amount of fuel is injected into the combustion chambers of a particular cylinder, and then a discrepancy between the actual and target operating performance of this cylinder is detected, after the detection of the discrepancy the amount of fuel injected is, at least temporarily, altered with respect to the amount before the detection of the discrepancy. Thus, for example, if before the discrepancy has been detected, the cylinder is operated with excess air (λ>1), it is then operated at a comparatively lower combustion-air ratio (in particular a stoichiometric combustion-air ratio) after the discrepancy has been detected. The remaining combustion chambers that have no discrepancy between their actual and target operating performance, can still be operated with excess air and a high combustion-air ratio, so as to keep the fuel consumption of the combustion engine low.
- To compensate for the discrepancy, it is also possible to adjust, in particular to shift, the time at which the amount of fuel is injected, into the combustion chamber which has the discrepancy. If, for example, in one of the combustion chambers, fuel is injected at a specific rotational position of a crank shaft of the combustion engine, which discrepancy is detected by the detection device, then, after the detection of the discrepancy, the amount of fuel is injected into the combustion chamber, at an injection point that differs from the specific rotational position at which the fuel was injected before the detection of the discrepancy. In this way, the discrepancy in this combustion chamber can be compensated for and a high level of ride comfort for the combustion engine can be maintained, while the other combustion chambers, particularly with respect to their fuel consumption, can be operated optimally, resulting in low fuel consumption of the combustion engine and low CO2 emissions.
- To compensate for the discrepancy, it is also possible to adjust, in particular shift, an ignition point of the fuel in the combustion chamber that has the discrepancy. If the mixture is ignited by means of induced ignition, the ignition point denotes the point in time and rotational position of the crank shaft, at which the mixture is ignited by means of an ignition device. If the mixture is ignited by auto-ignition, the ignition point, i.e. the rotational position of the crank shaft at which the mixture is ignited, is dependent on the time point and rotational position at which the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber.
- If, as the discrepancy, a discrepancy between an actual spark plug burning time and a target spark plug burning time for igniting the mixture is detected, an excess or a lack of fuel during ignition of the mixture can be identified by comparing the compiled actual spark plug burning time with the spark plug burning times of the other combustion chambers that have no discrepancy. From this, a targeted measure or adaptation of the combustion that has the discrepancy can be undertaken, wherein, for example, fuel injection close to the ignition is displaced or an amount of fuel injected close to the ignition can be adjusted.
- The invention will become more readily apparent from the following description of two preferred exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. The features and feature combinations disclosed in the description alone can be used not only in the respective specified combination, but also in other combinations or individually, without exceeding the scope of the invention.

FIG. 1 : shows a schematic diagram of an internal combustion engine having four cylinders, into which fuel is injected directly to form an air-fuel mixture, after which the air-fuel mixture is ignited; -
FIG. 2 : shows a further schematic diagram of the internal combustion engine according toFIG. 1 , wherein an injection point of only one of the cylinders is shifted to inject the fuel into this cylinder with respect toFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 3 : shows a schematic diagram of the internal combustion engine according toFIG. 1 , wherein an ignition point of only one of the cylinders is shifted for igniting the air-fuel mixture with respect toFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 1 shows acombustion engine 10 with afirst cylinder 12, asecond cylinder 14, athird cylinder 16 and afourth cylinder 18. During the operation of acombustion engine 10, a crank shaft rotates, which is connected, to pistons via corresponding connecting rods, which are disposed in thecorresponding cylinders cylinders - The crank shaft rotating during an operation of the
combustion engine 10, which is in the form as a reciprocating piston engine, has various rotational positions that are denoted as crank angle degrees ([°KW]). These crank angle degrees are depicted on the respective process arrows 20 inFIG. 1 . Aspecific amount 24 of fuel is directly injected into therespective cylinders crank angle degree 22. By injecting the fuel into a cylinder, an air-fuel mixture is formed, which is ignited at acrank angle degree 30. Thecrank angle degree 30 is also denoted as an ignition point. At a furthercrank angle degree 32, afurther amount 34 of fuel is injected into the cylinder; this is a post-injection of fuel. During the injection and ignition, the corresponding pistons move in therespective cylinders rotational position 36 of the crank shaft, which is denoted as the top dead center (TDC). - The
combustion engine 10 is operated, for example, in a so-called lean operation. In this way, it is operated, for example, in a stratified charge mode of operation. A stratification layer is thus present in thecylinders cylinders rotational position 30. Due to this ignition and activation of the ignitable stratification layer, the first stratification layer is also activated and ignited, which leads to an expansion of the air-fuel mixture and thus to a movement of the pistons in thecylinders cylinders combustion engine 10 is actually operated with only low fuel consumption at a low level of emissions. - It is also possible for a homogenous stratification to be present in the
cylinders cylinders combustion engine 10. - During such a lean operation (stratification operation/homogenous stratification operation) and also during a warm-up period of the
combustion engine 10 after a relatively long shutdown time, for example, thesecond cylinder 14 may have an actual operating performance that is different from a desired target operating performance. This, for example, may cause misfiring, increased operating irregularity, undesired pressure or combustion events in thecylinder 14 and/or an undesired burning time of an ignition spark generated by means of the ignition device, in particular the spark plug. Theremaining cylinders second cylinder 14, while simultaneously keeping the fuel consumption of thecombustion engine 10 low, as is depicted inFIG. 2 , therotational position 26 of fuel injection only thesecond cylinder 14 is shifted, while the fuel amounts 28 in theremaining cylinders rotational position 26 as before. - As apparent from
FIG. 2 , theamount 28 in thecylinder 14 is injected at arotational position 26′ in thecylinder 14 after the discrepancy has been detected. Therotational position 26′ is a rotational position of the crank shaft which is later than therotational position 26. In other words, therotational position 26, and thus the injection point for injecting theamount 28, is shifted late that is, toward therotational position 30 or toward the ignition point that is toward therotational position 36 or the top dead center position. In this way, the discrepancy in thecylinder 14 may be compensated for, while theother cylinders - Alternatively, or additionally, it is possible to alter the
amount 28 of fuel injected into the combustion chamber. When the discrepancy is detected, an amount in thecylinder 14 can be injected, which, for example, is smaller or larger than theamount 28 that has been inserted into thecylinder 14 before the discrepancy was detected. This, as well as the first and/or other measures, is carried out generally only temporarily and, with respect to the respective cylinder, the lean operation can even be ended, for example, and an operation of thecylinder 14 with stoichiometric combustion can be established, at least temporarily. -
FIG. 3 shows a further potential measure to compensate for the discrepancy between the actual operating performance of thecylinder 14 and the desired target operating performance. As shown inFIG. 3 , the air-fuel mixture is ignited at arotational position 30′, which is earlier than therotational position 30 when the crank shaft is being rotated. In other words, therotational position 30, and thus the ignition point, is shifted early so as to be farther from the top ignition dead center. This early shifting is also only carried out in the respective (second) cylinder, while theother cylinders combustion engine 10.

during a lean operation (stratified operation/homogeneous stratified operation) of the internal combustion engine (10) compensating for the discrepancy by shifting an ignition point (30, 30′) of the combustion chamber (12, 14, 16, 18) that has the discrepancy so as to be at a different point from a top ignition dead center position (36).
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein to compensate for the discrepancy, at least one measure is carried out, which influences the injection of an amount (24, 28, 34) of fuel injected into the combustion chamber (12,14, 16, 18) that has the discrepancy.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein to compensate for the discrepancy, the amount (24, 28, 34) of fuel which is injected, into the combustion chamber (12, 14,16, 18) that has the discrepancy is adjusted.
4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein to compensate for the discrepancy, a time point of injection the amount (24, 28,34) of fuel which injected directly, into the combustion chamber (12, 14, 16,18) that has the discrepancy is shifted.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein as a cause for a discrepancy between an actual operating performance and a target operating performance at least one of a misfire, a deviation of an actual pressure from a target pressure, a deviation of an actual pressure flow from a target pressure flow and a deviation of an actual spark plug burning time from a target spark plug burning time is detected as the discrepancy.
